I'm such a loser. The deadline has beat me up again this time ... and I had help here in the office (x2). The saddest part is that the game clock is still ticking. The magazine is not yet "done" or finished on my part. I have to successfully upload 11 more pages, which are being rejected by some finicky computer in Michigan.
What day is it, anyway? That's what deadline is like. No normalcy ... or at least you completely miss parts of it. Here's hoping that I can finish today.
I'm glad that God's love is consistent and not based upon our merits or hard work. If it were, it'd be like this deadline, working yourself to the bone and having the completion slip away again and again. It'd be a nightmare. I'm glad that someone told me that God's love is unconditional ... and that it's personal. He really does love Mike Kaply, Doug Van Pelt, and Steve Ivory. It's not a thing where, "Oh, He loves everyone," kind of like how a teacher or principal "loves" his students as one big mass. I'm somehow special in God's eyes. As one friend who's dealing with hairloss recently shared, it's easier for God to keep track of him now that there's less hairs to count. Someone told me I'm valuable to God, that He really cares. This is good to remember when "things" are going wrong and you're trying to keep it together.
Posted by Doug Van Pelt at September 23, 2008 09:31 AMCouldn't resist an AMEN today! And wanted you to know I've prayed for the successful completion of this hm issue. - He'll do it!
When I think of God orchestrating the events of nations today, AND Him knowing/caring that I have a measley headache, I'm BLOWN away at His "bigness" AND His wonderful loving heart towards me and my concerns. I think that's what you were saying .... His love is amazing!
Bless you, Doug. THANK YOU SO MUCH for letting Levi be a part of what you're doing there in Texas. Hope I can pass through some day, meet you and your family, and see this wonderful place of cows and "wide open" ....
Jody
